Winter - Wednesday, January 21st at 7:00 in the Media Center at OHMS. Topics to be covered: Graduation Requirements JATC Honors Courses Advanced Placement Concurrent Enrollment Answer any questions you may have

Parents of 8th grade students its that time of year! Please click on the link HERE to go to the online scheduler. Under the middle school option select "OQUIRRH HILLS MIDDLE (PCCR)" From there you should be able to select your students counselor and view a time you would like to schedule an appointment with your counselor.

Please view the video BEFORE attending the meeting of your counselor. This video will cover the general information given at the PCCR so time with your counselor can be spent focusing on YOUR student. Please come prepared with any questions from the video.

During the individual PCCR counselors will discuss: * High school graduation requirements * Advanced Placement (AP) credit * Concurrent Enrollment * The Jordan Applied Technology Center (JATC) * Test Results from previous year CRT and Explore results * School performance * Create the student's individual 4-Year Plan . These are the courses the student plans to take in high school.

It is good to make a plan early in your educational career. This plan can help you take advantage of opportunities later in high school and post-high school if you would like (high school programs, scholarships, college admittance). There are many great opportunities available to students for college, career, and scholarships. Knowing the information early in your education years is very important. Many programs, scholarships, colleges require courses be taken and passed with certain GPA to be eligible. Knowing these things before signing up for your high school courses can mean the difference of getting into a program or college, awarded a scholarship or NOT. Getting the information is pertinent and that is what the SEOP/PCCR meeting is all about.

As a school and counseling team we try to provide activities for students to explore college and career aspirations. In the Fall 8th grade students take a field trip the the JATC to tour the different programs that they have an opportunity to take part in when they get to high school.
